I Fell Down The Stairs (7 Stairs) This Morning. First

I fell down the stairs (7 stairs) this morning. First hit was on my L back/shoulder area, between the scapula and shoulder basically, on an angle. Then L hip, then L leg. As the day has gone on, I can tell I injured deep within my upper back/chest - it feels like pleuritis because it hurts when I take a deep breath. But not sure if it is a pneumothorax or just muscle trauma. Can't move very well - like getting up from the couch for example. I am 51 yo, 5'6" female. In the medical profession. I suspect I should go get a CXR tomorrow, but wondered if that's really needed?
